    The python bindings for gconf (gnome-python2-gconf) could not be found.

    Configuring gramps (genealogy software) says:

    checking Python bindings for gtk... ok
    checking Python bindings for GNOME... ok
    checking Python bindings for gconf... Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "conftest.p y", line 17, in ?
    import gnome.gconf
    ImportError: No module named gconf
    cat: conftest.out: No such file or directory
    configure: error:
    **** The python bindings for gconf (gnome-python2-gconf) could not be found.
    *** Error code 1


    I am able to repeat it with this simple python script (based on the
    configure code):

    -=-=-=-
    try:
    import pygtk
    pygtk.require(' 2.0')
    except ImportError:
    pass

    def out(str):
    f = open('conftest. out', 'w')
    f.write(str)
    f.close()

    try:
    import gconf
    out("YES")
    except ImportError:
    import gnome.gconf
    out("YES")
    except ImportError:
    out("NO")
    -=-=-=-

    For example:

    $ python gconf.test.pyth on
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "gconf.test.pyt hon", line 16, in ?
    import gnome.gconf
    ImportError: No module named gconf

    I have gnome-python-2.0.0 installed. I installed using pkgsrc build system
    and it did not work. And I installed directly from source too.

    I assume I have the gconf module installed. How can I find out?

    I have:

    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 296026 Mar 17 05:30
    /usr/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.a
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1114 Mar 17 06:08
    /usr/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.la
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 182087 Mar 17 06:08
    /usr/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.so
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29603 Mar 17 06:08
    /usr/share/pygtk/2.0/defs/gconf.defs


    How can I get python to tell me what it is doing when it looks for
    and tries the module?

    I have built and installed this several times before. Just the past few
    days something has changed in my python setup or in my gnome-python.

    My python is:
    $ python -V
    Python 2p3.3

    It is as installed using pkgsrc under Linux. (The package name is
    python23-pth-2.3.3nb1.)

    When I run python with debugging and verbose I get:

    /usr/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.so does exist.
    How can I find out why it was skipped?

    $ ldd /usr/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.so

    On a NetBSD system, it works and is slightly different:

    # trying /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/glob.py
    # /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/glob.pyc matches /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/glob.py
    import glob # precompiled from /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/glob.pyc
    # trying /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gconf.so
    # trying /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject.so
    import gobject # dynamically loaded from /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gt
    k-2.0/gobject.so
    import gconf # dynamically loaded from /usr/pkg/lib/python2p3/site-packages/gtk-
    2.0/gconf.so
    # clear __builtin__._
    # clear sys.path
    # clear sys.argv


    I am not sure what information is needed to troubleshoot this.
    The python and other packages are installed using pkgsrc system.
    I am pretty sure the problem is how it was configured or built, but I am
    trying to track down where this has changed.

    Any advice on this would be appreciated.

    Thank you,

      Just a followup for the archives. This issue was resolved.

      The problem was caused by a conflict with my ORBit2:
      "undefined symbol: ORBit_c_stub_in voke".

      I saw that by commenting out the gconf test in the configure
      script and running gramps.

      I reinstalled ORBit2 and related and the gnome-python2-gconf
      worked for gramps.

      I wish that the strace of "import gnome.gconf" would have
      shown this. (Later, I learned that maybe ltrace would have helped.)
